Servers had to be rebooted at our data center for "emergency downtime". I'm assuming it's probably a power issue due to the weather in NYC right now. Will update further when I know more. Sorry for the trouble. Game "SHOULD" be back soon.

This Quest saw the setting of multiple records. First, I received nearly thirty entries. That blows all the other Quests (and Spectrums) out of the water. Well, maybe it's not that dramatic but it's still a record. Second, these files beat the NPCs on average must more quickly and soundly than did those from the previous Quests. The masses have spoken, and you have some good ideas for new starter designs. So without further ado...

Today is your final chance to get in on the Iczer Fashion Show fun! Remember to include your Iczer name in the name of the file you send and use common file types when sending if possible (.jpeg, .gif, .png, .bmp, etc.). Check the original contest post for details if you need. Submissions will be accepted up until midnight tonight.

Just a reminder, Child's Play Charity cards are still on sale through the end of the month. All proceeds go to... well charity. All the info and options to buy are on that link back there.

High quality postcards of Zagar, Magic Sword Dual Wielder, Djinn, and Annarose are available in a set of four on heavy card stock. A great way to celebrate this holiday season. So give a little and get a lot back.

Ever notice how on our new site design, the calendar magically went away, tucked deep within our menus? Well NO MORE! We've added a module to the left side letting you see what the current events going on right now. Also there is a link the Event Calendar proper so you can peruse all of our announced events past, present, and future. Enjoy.

It's (like) Monday! Give or take a few days. Okay give a few. Like three. Give three days. Okay, it's Thursday and it's Card Flip time. Middle of week but it's okay. Okay for you Iczers because you can win more cards of point. Point Cards. Cold hard Point Cards redeemable for any card in the game you wish. Except for EX cards.

This weeks challenge comes to us from Logress and Lupos from New York, NY. They brought to light the fact that Boy Combat Priest and Corruption are actually depicting the same person. Interesting? Very! We pride ourselves on consistency. And we pride our Card Flips on the humor. Get to it kids.

Here's a basic rundown of the rules:

Create a conversation/dialogue between the two chosen cards and make it funny.

Please keep the comic to a single frame, although multiple frames will be accepted, the goal is to create comedy with as little as possible.

Do not modify the cards by adding things or drawing over them. You can stretch, re-size, skew, and rotate for purposes of this contest though.

4 point cards will be awarded to the winner on Monday at noon, a week from today.

So Thursday happened, it happened for all of us. Some of us gorged on turkey, stuffing, and other assorted foods associated with giving thanks and others probably just had a normal Thursday. Either way it happened. People logged in and played Alteil. That too had happened.

And now on this holiest of Mondays, Rankings happens. The one day a week where every trash talking Iczer either mans up or shuts up. Where the points hit the pavement. Where old dogs go to die. Where the wild things are. Err... I think I lost the point a few sayings ago. So here they are in all their glory. Respect the rankings and it shall respect you.

Mondays happen and now December happens. It will be happening very soon. Enjoy it.

As
always, anyone who had a stomach ache from too much food* and fought in
the arena at least once this week
will receive at least 10 gran. Listed below are your top 5 ranked Iczers, top 3
guilds, guilds that have become official, and guilds that have leveled.
